Critic Reviews

The Guardian Luke Buckmaster

A masterpiece in minimalist horror. Read full review

Noel Murray

There’s a boldness in Eggleston and De Roche’s choice to let almost the entire last half-hour of Long Weekend play out without dialogue, and in the clever ways they illustrate Peter and Marcia’s dangerous callousness. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Nicely directed with a great sense of the oppressiveness of the outdoors. Nature is the villain in this well-filmed second feature by Australian director Eggleston. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

'Mysterious' events are so heavily laden with symbolism that any possibility of suspense or credibility is sunk even before Nature can start to get really raw. Walkabout and The Last Wave did it much better. Read full review
